Title: much better than new
Post by: woodmills1 on May 06, 2002, 03:59:40 AM
just thought I would pass this on.  I just replaced the drum switch that controls the up/down motion of the saw head on my woodmizer.  Wow! I had forgotten just how easy it was to get the mill to stop on the scale reading I was looking for.  I have been fighting with it for months.  a little wiggle up then down, and for the last couple of weeks kind of using a little twisting motion to get it to move down at all. ::)  Changed the switch and now smooth as silk, very positive and just a little bump puts it right on the mark. :)  WM owners keep this in mind if you notice a little creep to the up down motion, or it seems like it is taking more adjustment to hit the desired numbers.
